Sony celebrated 20 years of PlayStation on December 3, 2014, the anniversary of the original PlayStation console’s release back in 1994. To commemorate the occasion, the company released a limited run of specially designed PlayStation 4 consoles, all gussied up in a nod back to the look of the original machines.
The package includes a PS4, a DualShock 4, and a PlayStation 4 Eye camera, all of them grey. Small, nostalgic flourishes abound throughout the package, from the etched-face button icons on the surface of the console and DualShock 4 touchpad to the original, colorful PlayStation logo, to the fancy box the whole thing ships in.
Take a closer look at the 20th Anniversary PS4 in the photos up top, and check out the unboxing video below to see how the whole thing is packaged. Were you one of the 12,300 people who were lucky enough to nab one of these babies?

For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule. Zelda should share the adventure with Link
